Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) chip receives an input signal on a bus connecting a number of IC chips in series. The IC chip is one of the number of IC chips. The IC chip determines whether the bus is in a busy state or an idle state. If the IC chip determines that the bus is in the idle state, the IC chip blocks communication from upstream chips on the bus, and transmit data on the bus. If the IC chip determines that the bus is in the busy state, the IC chip delays transmitting the data on the bus for a delay period, and transmits its data on the bus if the bus is determined to be in the idle state upon expiry of the delay period.

Abstract: Systems and methods of selecting a collection of compatible issue-ready instructions for parallel execution by functional units in a superscalar processor in a single clock cycle. All possible instructions (opcodes) to be executed by the functional units are pre-arranged into several scenarios based on potential resource conflicts among the instructions. Each scenario includes multiple groups of predefined instructions. During operation, concurrently for all the groups, an issue-ready instruction is identified with reference to each group based on group-specific selection policies. Further, based on the identified instructions, predefined policies are applied to select one or more scenarios and select among the picks of the selected scenarios. As a result, the output instructions of the selected scenarios are issued for parallel execution by the functional units.

Abstract: A memory request, including an address, is accessed. The memory request also specifies a type of an operation (e.g., a read or write) associated with an instance (e.g., a block) of data. A group of caches is selected using a bit or bits in the address. A first hash of the address is performed to select a cache in the group. A second hash of the address is performed to select a set of cache lines in the cache. Unless the operation results in a cache miss, the memory request is processed at the selected cache. When there is a cache miss, a third hash of the address is performed to select a memory controller, and a fourth hash of the address is performed to select a bank group and a bank in memory.
